[RusenBG]

What grit are they exept the pink 100 grit blade crusher .

The one on the right is an 8k. Not sure about the middle one.

 

[foyola18]

The one in the middle is a two sided 1k - 4k stone. Pink is A fixer stone.

 

[RusenBG]

Throw the pink stone in the basement and enjoy the other 2 - good stones
I like those beautyfull synthetics with Kanji

Homemade GD kamisori and Odd brand....

Duane cutlery - 5/8ths-ish. Maybe a hair bigger, full hollow.
I've been honing this a lot lately, nice steel and very receptive to different hones.
Today was a breeze on one of my new Marukas... sterling edge came up quickly and seemingly effortlessly.

My newest 7/8. Honed on Naniwas.

That's the prettiest coti I've ever seen.

 

[caccia]

Why thank you,it was the first coticule I ever bought about 20 years ago and tried it on knives but didn't like it.It had the original box which got thrown out.Think I paid a couple bucks for it back then.For razors it works really good,and fast.

That one is a looker!

Cheers, Steve

If all Coti's looked that good I might actually own one. That is a great setup you have there Need Mah Shades to dim the shiny

Not sure if this is talking specifically about razor blades but i honed my Schrade SCH220BK today and my nice Victorinox kitchen knife.

A 5/8 ERN I found at the flea market Saturday.
Bevel set on Chosera 1k. Yae botan on a hard wakasa, botan, then dilutions on the Coticule side of a Les Lat.

 

[mikael]

Now that's a nice box. Homemade?

 

[David]

Thank you. Yes I made it last year when aephilli started the making boxes thread.

 

[sir_mike]

Yes, very nice box there!

 

[Bayamontate]

Beautiful stone and box. You lucked out on that razor too, most ERN come with roached out scales. The JNat and coticule marriage can be a tricky one but when it works it's beautiful.

 

[kcb5150]

I think the reason is ern used hardened rubber a lot for scales.

Thanks. Lately I've been trying to refine the edge a bit more before going to the coticule, and its working out pretty well. I'm thinking of putting a synthetic between the 1 k and coticule but haven't made my mind up on which one i want to try. Suggestions?
